Don't Pigeons just fly back home anyway?

You have to "Hant", them keep them in a cage for a couple of weeks then don't feed them when you let them out, every time you feed them you shake the feed tin they remember the sound and when you want them back in the cage shake the tin.

Seen this airsoft gun today A.C.M. Hi-capa Xtreme.45 for 3,500 baht with a bottle of gas just wondered if anyone can tell me if it's any good. I know it's a Chinese copy but I only want it to scare the bloody chickens and their sh*t off my porch.

Thanks.

Baan Sukhumvit on Soi 18 have free WiFi and Lan line connections in the rooms.

Just been to Korat Immigration and they gave me my 60 day extension no problem ( Non O runs out 15th Feb).

The office is next to the petrol station and Toyota garage just after the intersection for Korat if your coming from Buriram on the 24. The staff are excellent went in the girl at reception checked all my paperwork she then filled in the form and gave me everything back with a number to wait. Theres also a coffee/juice stand outside a cafe next door with a photocopier

A real pleasure to go there it's a pity they don't send them to train immigration staff at the airport.

Don't need it, just turn on tethering. Check the internets to find how, it's very simple.

PDANet sucks anyway, my iPhone got so hot I thought it would melt when I tried it once. Since tethering superseeds PDANet, I don't think it will ever get any updates either. Don't buy!

Thanks you've made my mind up, think I'll spend my 29 dollars on stocking the fridge with some nice cold beer Chang instead.

Got PDANet on my Iphone but it's now limited can't open emails and such, it cost 29 dollars to purchase a fully working version has anyone actually paid up and registered as I'm a little unsure about using my credit card on line with them.

Thanks,

Just seen tonight 5 Chihuahuas in a pet shop off Sukhumvit Soi 33 (the Japanese area) in a shop next to Fuji Supermarket, they were all male but all were KC registered from 9,500 upto 27,000 baht. May be worth a look should probably be able to source you a female.

Thanks a lot for the info, I'll try next week and post here if I got it.

Thanks,

EDIT.

Just looked back and I think you are talking about a 60 day extension to visit your Wife.

They may well do it next week. Why not give them a ring and ask.

Thanks yes it's for a 60 day extension, I thought I'd ask here first as someone might have first hand knowledge, my experience with immigration in the past is the answer depends on who you talk to.

Thanks.

My Non O runs out 15th Feb I live in Buriram about 2 hours from Korat we're going there next week and was wondering if anyone knows if it would be possible to get the extension then rather than have to go back again in Feb.

Thanks for any help.

Just to keep the topic going, as I'm still looking for a WD TV Live in Thailand

Fortune Town have the Live for 5,290baht and the other for 4,090 baht.

I'm sorry but a free 1,900 baht tourist visa wouldn't sway me to spend my 100,000 baht holiday money in Thailand, I would also think the big spenders are the people on the two week holidays (lot of money to spend in a short time) and they get a visa on arrival.

Whats stopping people coming is the uncertainty as to whether it will still be safe to come three months after they've booked their flight and hotel.

Shops around Klong Toey market sell all kinds of porters trolleys.

If you Pm me I know someone with apartments on Soi 18 for around 15,000 - 18,000 baht per month and may take a short rental.

Was there last year with my wife, same as you had never been there for 16years but still found my way around ok. We stayed at The Largos Hotel one minutes walk from Jordan MTR all newly refurbished hotel even the carpets in the corridors were immaculate 2,000 baht per night approx.

Just across Nathan Roads Temple St great food from the cafe on the corner about 200 baht per dish and beer big bottle 90 baht, The Peaks an amazing place now with Madame Tussauds there but be prepared for a long wait for the tram not like before when you could just jump straight on for a couple of dollars.

The light show at the harbour starts 8.30 pm not to be missed, Wong Tai Sin Temple really nice place to visit right outside the MTR station and totally free.

Take the shuttle train into the city from the airport takes you into Kowloon Station and easy to get a taxi from there, it's nice not to have to fight to get the meter switched HK taxis won't take a set fee but they might charge you a couple of dollars for baggage.

I'm sure after 18 years away you'll still find all the familiar places Star Ferries still the best buy in the world although the terminal frontage on Hong Kong sides changed a lot, not as easy to find the bus station now.

You have a wife or child I suspect? I would go with about a week remiaing (in case something else is needed).

Yes a wife for 15 years I'm afraid, thanks for the info I was dreading the trip to K.L.

I need to renew my Non O in Feb but don't want to go to K.L as it's Chinese New Tear time so am I right in thinking I can get a 60 day extension from local immigration in Korat, just take the usual paperwork with me.

Would I need to wait a couple days before or could I renew get it maybe one month before.

Thanks,

When we moved out here 5 years ago we used Hankyu, they have an office in Washington Tyne & Wear and a local one here in Soi Ruamrudee just off Chidlom.

Have a look at this http://www.powerbuy.co.th/CategoryPage.aspx?Cat_ID=372 their in Central World at off Chidlom BTS.

I want to update to 3.1 but I've got a video app "cycorder" that has a lot of video footage on, anybody know if it's possable to transfer this app to my computer so I don't loose the videos.

I tried asking at MBK but no help they could only save the photos.

Thanks,

I was thinking of going there next year did you have to show any bank funds for your multi and if so how much.

I'm almost sure she can fly back to her home country but I don't think they'd let her fly to K.L. especially if it's two different flights. My wife realised her Thai passport had only four months validity when we went to K.L. recently and they refused her, luckily she had her U.K. passport with her and was allowed to fly out on that.

Usually extra holidays are announced at the last minute so this time the government wanted people to be able to plan their holidays ahead and of course boost tourism.

What a miserable bunch some farangs are on this thread. Thais get few holidays, most certainly can't take 2 weeks in a row.

Well said, totally agree with you.

[Kev C how long did it take you to think of that one? You live in another country obviously everything is perfect . Is it wrong to say what is not right? Or have you become as brainwashed as the Thais? Talk to them and see how much of the constant propoganda they actually believe.....perhaps all of it! Glad to see a Farang also cant think outside of the box, soon you will be drinking LowCow have 3 gigs have stopped working and knock your Mrs around then you will really blend in!

Whats all that about, wheres the propaganda fit in with extending the biggest holiday of the Thai year, should it all come to a stop because you don't like it. When you came to live here (I take it you do live here) you must known what to expect and if "thinking outside the box" turns me into a grumbling know better than everyone else expat like a lot of people on here I think I'll stay inside my nice'n'cosy box thankyou. By the way whats 3 gigs?.

>province declared disaster zone

>300,000 provincial residents are lacking sufficient warm clothing

Why just not go and BUY some for themselves? Why they awaiting something which is very normal in their normal life, but they waiting that from someone and for free?? What kind of f.ing "cold disaster zone" can be found within of an area of the Tropic of Cancer???

These news always being a nonsense (me myself came from the place where -30'C is a very common day, and winter is for 9 months/year - and NOONE call it "disaster" as far as I remember).

Once again - Welcome to Thailand: the frozen land of hubs and crackdowns.

Your right this is a sh*te place to live why don't we all just go home.....................what?.
